5 Wacky Animals That Will Make You Say 'Whaaaaaat?!'

Sometimes reality is indeed stranger than fiction. This is seen especially in the animal kingdom because Mother Nature has a wacky sense of humor. Here are just a few of the most outrageous animals out there.

1. Peacock Spider

This spider makes the list purely based on its rockin' dance moves. I mean, look at how he's breaking it down. He's better than half the people I've encountered at any frat party I've ever attended. You go, spider man.

2. Proboscis Monkey

Giphy

Look at the honker on this guy. He's like the Squidward of the jungle. Why does he need a nose like that? What's the point? I think you can probably guess why he's on this list just by looking at him. Good prank, Mother Nature, but this one's kinda mean.

3. Axolotl

Consider inviting this "Mexican salamander" to your next fiesta. Look! He's already got a party hat. This guy is pretty cute for something that has a name that you'll never be able to pronounce. He almost looks like a super cute sock puppet.

4. Dumbo Octopus

Giphy

You wanna know why he's called a Dumbo Octopus? He swims using his "ears" just like Disney's Dumbo! That's so cute! But also kinda weird!

5. Cassowary

Giphy

If you ever find yourself in Australia, look out for this guy. Generally, Australia has a pretty high concentration of "wtf" animals, but this bird is especially weird. Cassowaries can reach up to 6.6 feet in height and weigh up to 130 pounds. Yikes, Mother Nature. You went a little wild on this one.

The world around us is a beautiful and amazing place, but it also contains some pretty weird creatures. Even though some are wacky, it's just part of what makes Earth so interesting.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
